road

road.
Everything concerning the build
ing of this road is as favorable as
could be desired. It was thought
eight weeks ago that by this time
the grading would be in progress,
but owing to the vast routine of
preliminaries and the usual delays,
work has been put off.
We will say however, that SO far
as can be learned the building of
the c., Ft. S. & T. is as certain as
any human project can be.
It must be remembered that it
takes time, and lots of it. to build
railroad. 1t takes some men sever
al months to get ready to build lit
tie house, and therefore when we con-
slider this enterprise which involves
millions of money, we can see that it
cannot be done in a few days. The
Chicago & Alton dillydallied fully
a year over the building of their line
before they began work; while the
officers of the Ft. Scott road have on
ly been at work upon their line five
months from the time of getting
their charter.
The Fl. Scott road is a great un
dertaking. 1t is already located t.
Arkansas City, Kans., and will proba
bly, be extended on southwest, per
haps to Ell Paso, Texas. This vii
make it a much longer road than th'

got out Of his trench one morning, and,
after attracting the attention Of n
johnny who could be seen inside the

TO his lips, which were puckcrcd for u

three swallows Of the liquor when we
saw a puff Of smoke and flash from

later by the collapse OF the whisky
flask and the fall Of the volunteer The
bottle, which had been struck by q
mimic ball, was shivered, and the man
who had held it lay bleeding at our feet.
His upper jaw had been shattered by
the bullet, which had also taken away
several Of his front teeth and buried it,

one Of the prcttiest shots | saw during

though seriously wounded, seemed to
